EASE OF APPLICATION:

• The translucent backing enhances dressing placement and initial monitoring of the wound.
• The dressings are easy to use, mould, and can be cut to shape to dress awkward areas.
• Wash your hands, cleanse and rinse the wound and then dry the surrounding skin.
• Measure the wound to select the appropriate dressing size, allowing a 3.0cm (1¼ -inch) overlap on intact skin around the whole wound.
• Warm the dressing between your hands.
• Remove the “´top´” white release paper, being careful to minimize finger contact with the adhesive surface.
• Hold the adhesive side of the dressing over the wound.
• Align the dressing with the centre of the wound.
• Gently apply the centre part of the dressing.
• Remove the “´bottom´” white release paper while rolling the dressing in place – but don’t stretch it.
• Repeat the above procedure on the other side and remove the clear release paper.
• Gently mould the dressing into place for 30-60 seconds.
• Gently lift one corner of the dressing.
• Roll it away from the wound while holding the skin away.
• Gently lift the other corners and pull upwards until the dressing completely peels off.
